' CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 261,973, dated August 1, 1882.

Application iiled March B, 1882. (Model.)

Toall whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN E. WHEELDON, a citizen of the United States, residing at South Carrollton, in the county of Muhlenburg and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Churns, of which the followin gis a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to churns.

1t consists in the parts which will be hereinafter described, and pointed outin the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is side elevation, partly in section. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the device with the vessel-cover removed.

The letter A represents the smooth part of the rotary rod confined within the vessel.

B is the grooved or threaded end of the rotary rod.

U is a tube containing spring D.

E is a plug in the top ot' the tube, towhich the spring is attached.

E is a sliding socket-plug, to which the lower end ofthe spring is tixed.

F is a collar and set-screw adjustable on rod A. Y

G G are beaters, terminating conically on collar F and rigidly secured thereto.

G G are U-shaped depressions in beaters G which produce increased agitation ofthe mi H is a revolving perforated disk soldered to the lower ends ot' the wire beaters G G. Said disk has acentral opening, through Vwhich the rod A passes.

I is the handle.

J is a rivet connecting a piece which is attached by pivot to the top ot'thc tube.

K is the point at which the handle I is attached to a standard, L.

M is a pivot securing the standard to the bottom piece, O. f

I and` Q are keys xed to said bottom piece, and which secure thevesscl N by its daring bottom R.

S is a circular recess in the bottom piece, 0, into which the haring bottom ot' the vessel sits.

T is a fan, adjustable by set-screw on the rotary rod. i

U is the vessel-cover, and V is the central Z and Z are the tapering ends ot' the rotary rod, that work in the sockets W and'E, respectively.

Z Z are ii1wardlyprojecting pins or lugs rigidly fixed to the bottom of tube C, which slide in the spiral grooves of the rod and cause the same to revolve when the tube is raised or lowered.

The churn is operated by pressing down on the handle, which action forces the vertical tube downward on the grooved dasher-rod. The tube being fixed to the handle, and being provided with inwardly-projectingI pins which tit into the grooves in the rod, said rod is forced to revolve by the downward motion of the tube, and to revolve in a reverse manner when the handle and tube are raised. The spring in the tube forces the handle and tube upward after the downward stroke has been performed. By this means a rotary motionis imparted to the dasher.

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The perforated dishshaped disk H, having a central opening therein, through which the rod A passes, the beaters G, provided with inward depressions G', said beaters being secured and arranged at equidistant points4 around the outer edge of the disk, the upper ends ot' the beaters being centered on and rigidly secured to a sliding collar encircling rod A, said colla-r being provided with a hole for the reception of a set-screw, and by means thereof the collar, beaters, and disk are rendered adjustable on the rod, in the manner and for the purposes specified.

2. In a rotary churn, as herein specited, the fan T, consisting of two vertical metallic wings rigidly secured to a collar, said collar encircling the main shaft and being adjustable thereon by means of' a set-screw, for the purposes set forth.

3. The vessel N, provided with cover U, and having daring bottom, R, said bottom fitting a corresponding recess in the base-piece, and being secured thereto by keys P and Q, in combination with the standard L and the handle I, which is secured to the tube 0,' the parts being united in the manner and for the purposes specified.

JOHN E. WHEELDON.
